Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947 and Section 161 IPC, affirming the lower courts' findings that the appellant demanded and accepted a bribe of Rs.101/-. The Court found that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt, rejecting the appellant's defense of a false complaint due to personal vendetta. The appeal was dismissed, and the conviction and sentence of rigorous imprisonment for one year were upheld.
